Two Atoms engaged in a conversation while working on a computer, one attentively listening and the other gesturing.

It's never been easier or faster to modernize a legacy app. Our U.S.-based teams use AI to extract business rules, translate legacy code, and accelerate high-stakes rewrites that drive business results.

What’s holding you back?

Sound Familiar? Let's Set Up a Call

Your tech stack is outdated.

Your software is stuck on aging infrastructure. It's hard to scale, costly to maintain, and limits what your team can do.

It costs too much to add new features.

New customers and end-users are making demands that your software can’t flex to meet. The fragile codebase stops you from seizing new opportunities.

You’ve got a poor user experience.

Your product comes with constant negative feedback. People don’t want to use your product, though it serves a valuable need.

We’ve Modernized It all

Here’s a sample of some of the legacy tech we’ve modernized into contemporary solutions.

C++
COBOL
Legacy hardware, like AS400s
Visual FoxPro
Powerbuilder
IT-managed server environments (to the cloud)
Outdated handheld devices
Desktop applications (to the cloud)
And More...

What Sets Us Apart

In 25+ years of helping clients like you, we’ve built a brand promise other firms don’t match: a great product and a great client experience at a great value.

Here is the set of choices we’ve made—that other firms won’t:

Full Product Team

Unlike specialized service providers that only offer design or development, we help you focus on the bigger picture. Atomic provides and coordinates the multidisciplinary skillsets you need to ship a great product.

Advanced Tools & Practices

Every team member uses AI to move faster and build smarter. We invest hundreds of thousands of dollars each year in tools, training, and knowledge management so our clients can benefit from the latest software development innovations.

100%  U.S.-based Talent

Atomic only hires in our four U.S. regions, and we don’t offshore your project team. We find the best credentialed and experienced professionals. We have industry-leading retention and tenure rates.

Co-located Collaboration

Our teams work side by side in the same regional offices. Easy collaboration accrues massive value and speed to your project compared to remote teams that suffer from low cohesion and strained communication.

That’s why our clients rank us as the highest-rated custom software consultancy on Earth— out of more than 200,000 firms on the review site Clutch.co

Success Stories

Smart questions buyers ask us.

Q:

This is the default text value

Answer

AI can unlock new possibilities you might not be able to achieve with traditional software alone, such as:

  • Process automation: Freeing up time and reducing costs by simplifying repetitive knowledge work or complex analysis through AI.
  • Personalization at scale: Tailoring user experiences or product recommendations in real time.
  • Interpreting unstructured data: Summarizing, categorizing, or extracting insights from large text or image sets.

While AI introduces opportunities for innovation, it brings new challenges as well. As experts, we can help address your concerns.Whether AI is the heart of your product or a feature within a broader system, we integrate robust, proven software engineering from degreed professionals who are based in the United States with advanced AI capabilities to maximize your ROI.

ASK ANOTHER QUESTION:

Why a fellowship and not a scholarship?

As part-time employment, income from the fellowship does not need to be reported to the institution of higher learning and will not affect other ongoing scholarships or grants.

We also believe that a fellowship better serves our goals of providing academic support, job hunting orientation, and a professional network than a one-off scholarship.

Who is eligible?

Black, Indigenous, or Person of Color (BIPOC) graduation senior currently enrolled in a high school in Washtenaw County, intending to major in Computer Science or currently enrolled in Computer Science courses in high school.

Who is administering the fellowship?

Atomic Object will manage the fellowship. Participants in the fellowship have the opportunity to be employees of Atomic Object. The funds earned through the fellowship may be spent on participant-determined priorities. These priorities may be academic or they may be personal.

Put our broad skillset to work.

Your product team can work across web, mobile, desktop, and embedded product development—helping you match the software’s form to its function.
